Show-Me Institute

The Show-Me Institute is a Missouri-based think tank which states that its work is "rooted in the American tradition of free markets and individual liberty. The Institute’s scholars seek to move beyond the 20th-century mindset that every problem has a government solution. Instead, they develop policies that respect the rights of the individual, encourage creativity and hard work, and nurture independence and social cooperation."

Funding
On its website the think tank states that "the Institute's board of directors funds the basic operations of the Show-Me Institute. In addition, we seek financial support from individuals, foundations, and corporations who share our vision for the state and want to improve the quality of the public debate. To preserve our independence, we accept no government funding, and we do not perform contract work."

In its 2006 annual report the Cato Institute stated that it provided a grant of $50,000 to the Show-Me Institute.
